A study published by Anthropic in July 2026 explored the internal workings of their Claude language model, focusing on a reusable "workspace" within its transformer architecture. This workspace, residing in the residual stream, consists of internal representations that Claude reads from and writes to during its thinking process. Researchers found they could manipulate these representations to alter Claude's responses, suggesting a biological-like mechanism for complex reasoning through iterative refinement across multiple transformer layers.
